I wanted to focus on Irwin and Sheppard.
Irwin is putting together some solid games. Makes me think of Braun when he first came up. I hope that this isn't a cup of coffee thing. Maybe after 5 or so games, they'll look into making a trade of some defense.
In the 2 games Sheppard has played, it looked to me that he improved from one game to the next. Yes, he only had limited time but he looks like he understands the defensive side and is working hard.
